Was sitting around the table the other night talking about how to get more traction pulling and one guy said 5 gallon pail and rocks like ha ha Another said fluid in the tires I replied ya but they eat the rims so I don't want to chance it he replied put rv anti freeze in them they won't hurt them and still gives u tons of traction. My other ? Is I have f&h rims off a farmall on my WC allis there spoke rims and i have a set of f&h wheel weights but I don't know if they will work on there I have some j bolts off for a oliver set of duals that I was going to hook on one of the spokes and hang the wheel weights from but not sure what we be best. Fluid sounds the easyist  ------------- ~AMP~ |

IMHO Use Fluid to get you to your lowest base weight, then use weights after that to go up in classes. ------------- Charlie '48 B, '51 CA, '56 WD45 '61 D17, '63 D12, '65 D10 , '68 One-Ninety XTD |
